Mathematical modeling of the nonlinear triaxial behavior and damage of such a complexmaterial as concrete has been a long-standing challenge in which progress has been made only in gradual increments. The goal of this study is a realistic and robust material model for explicit finite-element programs for concrete structures that computes the stress tensor from the given strain tensor and some h...

In this study, the mechanical behavior under monotonic loads of tungsten carbide‑cobalt (WC-Co) composites is investigated extensively by analyzing (1) nanoindentation tests on WC particles and Co matrix, (2) nanowires made WC-Co tested in tension (3) micropillars compression. To end, a novel computational framework consisting two different microplane constitutive models developed for phases ar...
